Will Rogers
training & horsemanship
Will’s gift for helping others “find the magic” that allows them the most balanced, harmonious and happy dressage horse that takes him into a rather special league. The German based Aussie may have spent decades with horses but recent years have been a revelation for him. He and wife Anna Blomgren, who rides dressage at top level for Sweden, with four-year-old son Jasper are based at Monica Theodorescu’s old yard in Warendorf town near Sassenberg. It is where Monica and her father George won gold medals from and is a place steeped in history that has also played a part in Will’s own journey. Will has spent time training and working with some of the best in the world as well as performing at key European events, but his biggest learnings have come from horses not humans. Rhythm and relaxation are critical to create a balanced, comfortable and willing horse. “I like to start by finding each individual horses preferred rhythm and balance as a baseline to build from.” Having a horse perform to its best in a dressage arena called for many layers of discovery and “opening doors” to find answers and reflection. Will is hoping to make that journey a little easier for others.
